Zalor Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I am 99% sure that you have to change Chapter Titles through editing the graphics, but I can't seem to find anywhere the offsets that I need to extract that information with the GBA Graphics Editor. And by anywhere, I mean the internet, since I don't really know how to debug for that information myself (believe me when I say I tried). The odd thing is, is that I have seen many FE7 hacks with edited Chapter titles, so I assumed it was common knowledge. Specifically right now I am curious how I can replace the first chapter title "Prologue: A Girl from the Plain" Furthermore, where can I find an image of the font used in Fire Emblem chapter titles, since I want my custom chapter title to use the same font if I can. If anyone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrman Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 For FE7, changing the chapter titles is as simple as going into Feditor and changing the name. Find the original chapter name, and then replace it. I think two instances of the names might appear; if so, one is for the ending and the other is for the chapter title. The one you want should say "Prologue: A Girl from the Plains" or something like that. May as well change both instances for the long run. The titles are graphics in FE8, however.

That's a bit weird because when I changed it in Feditor, the game crashes the moment I start the chapter. That's what lead me to believe it was a graphics issue. The picture I attached is what happens when I alter the title. It's like, the moment the game has to render my new text it doesn't know what to do.

CT075 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 that seems to be either FEditor being itself or user error (note that the latter often leads to the former) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I specifically modified the text in Feditor that is located at 0x058C, which is "Prologue: A Girl from the Plains[X]". I even did this on a clean rom and the game still crashed. And what exactly do you mean by "FEditor being itself", is FEditor often buggy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you include the [X] at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you change the text to? And did you include the [X] at the end? Yeah, I included the "[X]". The title I want is "The Heist!". What I wrote was "The Heist![X]". Oddly enough, when I changed the text to "Custom Title" I had no problem. But I have no idea why "Custom Title" works but not "The Heist!". By the way, is there an alternative to Feditor these days? Last time I dabbled in hacking was two years ago, and while I downloaded up to date copies of the programs I used then, perhaps my methods are outdated? EDIT: Okay, I figured out the problem. The issue was with the exclamation point, once I got rid of it and left it as "The Heist" everything worked fine. Thanks everyone for helping me out, especially for pointing out that I didn't need to fiddle with the graphics to change chapter titles. I am curious why the exclamation point caused so many problems, but the issue has been resolved. Edited April 1, 2017 by Zalor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'd assume there's no graphic for ! so it didn't know how to display that. Regarding FEditor alternatives, take a gander at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't seem too bad, it will require learning a new method of hacking though. I'm pretty comfortable with the Event assembler, but using it for everything will definitely take some getting used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
